Kavitha demands govt to deliver promises to BCs

BRS MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha on Wednesday issued a strong warning to the Congress government, stating that there is no question of remaining silent if the promises made to Backward Classes (BCs) are ignored. Speaking at a meeting with Telangana Vaddera Sangham leaders, she demanded the immediate implementation of commitments made in the Kamareddy BC Declaration and the party’s election manifesto. She emphasided the need for a separate ministry for Most Backward Classes (MBCs), a promise made by the Congress during its election campaign.
Kavitha appreciated the Telangana Jagruthi organisation’s submission of a report to the BC Dedicated Commission, advocating an increase in reservations for BCs in local bodies. She criticised the Congress for its inaction, pointing out that despite being in power for a year, the government has failed to establish the promised MBC ministry or construct BC Unity Bhavans in every district with an allocation of Rs. 50 crore. She further accused the Congress of neglecting BC welfare, saying, “They promised 42 per cent reservations for BCs in local bodies during elections. Any delay in implementing this is unacceptable. The government’s indifference to supporting traditional professions of BC communities is glaring.”
Kavitha also expressed deep concern over the recent food poisoning incident at Sarangapur Kasturba Girls School in Jagtial district, where six students fell ill. She highlighted the growing fear among parents of children studying in welfare schools due to frequent reports of food poisoning. “Every day, students from welfare schools are being admitted to hospitals due to food poisoning. This government’s failure to provide quality food reflects its inefficiency,” she remarked. Kavitha criticided Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, who also holds the Education portfolio, for not visiting welfare schools even once in the past year. She demanded that the Chief Minister immediately visit these schools, review their conditions, and take measures to prevent such incidents from recurring.
